Chapter 4 Page 33

Busteddd. So close. Going through those trees ain't as easy as it looks, man... You seen em in the game? They're like a wall... And Atty is no man for speed. Or negotiating bushes.

I've decided to make clear what a couple of people have already pointed out. Brent is indeed Atticus' last name, as has been stated a couple of times in the comic (but quite some time ago to be fair). So he wasn't being a TOTAL cock... Just a formal cock.

Yes. George has to duck if she wants to keep in the panel. I'm tight on space yo, you want in you gotta work for it D:

...he sounds like he likes her. Like he's gonna ask her a favor. ...Maybe he wants her to come with him so she can tell him how not to do things. (wonders if she has one of those pokemon that can cut down plants, so they can make a new path)

@Asj: Still need the Cut HM and beat the 2nd gym. Currently he don't even have the power to use the 1-time useful Flash move as Brock is still playing with his rocks. She seem just as new as he is if she was walking around for a Pikachu.

I bet he just going to ask for her backstory (why she enjoying Pokemon-ing so much) and let us the readers get more info on her.

*Here's what WON'T happen in the next comic*Atticus: Actually.. I was thinking.... Let's skip all this cliche boy-meets-girl-and-become-friends-then-more drama, and just get to dating, in the end, I'll like you, and you'll like me, and we'll drive the readers crazy.

(Then they kiss and live happily ever after!)

*Alternate ending*
Atticus: Actually.. I was thinking....

George: '.' Oh.... um.. yeah I gotta go. *flees*
(Atticus lights a cig, takes a puff....)
Atticus: .... Huh... that worked.
*continues walking down road at a comfortable pace*

GSDavidicus: Not only will I crack up if EITHER of those ACTUALLY happen... but... I will officially proclaim myself a phychic (a pox upon s/he who makes a dark-type attack joke >.<#) and will sell out my powers for money.. until I can control my strength to the point where I can destroy the world!! MWAHAHAHAHAH!

I'm actually wondering why he's being so nice to her. In comparison to everyone else, at least. Is she a love interest? ...I kind of hope not, lol. He seems older than he's supposed to be, and she seems much younger. XD (Plus I hate how there's always a love interest in everything, but that's just me XD) Either way, I wasn't sure if the better treatment was intentional or not, so I'm kind of curious as far as what will happen next.

If Atty doesn't want to play by the rules, he could locate a cheating device of some sort and find the "walk through walls" cheat, even if it's just trees.

But I guess it's more logical to try to go through the wall-like trees to get to the exit.

Thinking about the anime... the trees were never that packed together. Of course, this has nothing to do with the anime, but him trying to go through those trees randomly makes me think about how Ash and friends almost always manage to get lost. In forests. Ever notice how they don't "stick to the path?"

hey him not telling her to sod off or being a total prick to her, at least not upfront, is a real change for him! defiantly an improvement! almost as if he doesn't want to hurt her feelings. at least not directly to her face.. but still and improvement.

Also, her ducking is cute and totally works, shes giving him her full attention.

I reckon he'll ask why she's so into this whole gym challenge thing, she'll give a generic, game-worthy reply, he'll made a crude comment, followed by running into those two people watching from the bushes around #23.
